fl ARTIFICIAL EYES. The Art of Making Them Resem ble Their Human Patterns. MATCH IN SHAPE AND COLOR. They Fit tht Eyt Socket Perfeelly and May Even Be Worn During Sleeping Hourt Mad of Glass. For Which No Subilltute Hae Yet Dean Found. Germany leads all other countries In tbu manufacture of nrtltlclnl cjes, Ttie American consul general at Co burg relates that probably ever since tbe beginning of tbe world civilised people bare cudeavored to bide or reniedy'auy flaw lu tbelr appearance, such ns tbe Ions of nn eye would causa, Uow this wan doue by tbe va rious nation. It Is btinl to sny. Up to tbe preseut time no discoveries bare been made tbat would offer enlighten ttieut on this subject. There are. It li true, a few unuuibcnttcntcU account! ni far back as tbe middle ages, but tbe first reliable report la given by tbe French iturgeon Anibrolsc Pare In 1300. Two kinds of arUtlclnl eyes were known to blm. the ckblepburoii and tbe hypoblcpbnros. The ckblephnros was made by painting tbe eye nuil all surrounding part as far us the brows on o plate, which was placed In front of the eye socket and held In position by a string tied over the hend. The hypoblepharos was ucd In a manner similar to tbat of today, twins put be hind the eyelid. In tbe eye socket It self, nud was compoed of a metal shell of copper, silver or gold, covered with enamel and glass fusions. It was only at the cloo of the eight eenth century tbat these nrtlilclal eyes really became of practical ue. It being then found possible to do nway with tbe metal shell altogether and employ enamel and gins. The material used was a soft lead glass, easily shaped, hut also easily destructible, and an eye had to be renewed ercry tbreo or four months to prevent the socket from becoming affected. It Is known tbat In tbe middle of the ' nineteenth century eyes were made by enamelera In Dresden. Prague. London nvwl Qrnot-hn m unit If, TlmrlnrHfl Til ' and Stockholm, and In Tliurlngla. Tbe Thuringlon makers were not enamel era, but glnssblowers working In con nection with the porcelain painting In- dustry. whose endless and untiring experiment resulted In the discovery of nn Ideal material, cryolite glass, the tifln nr vh(ih lH In nai fcw-nnlMlli. ' use of which led to a new technique In eye manufacture. Moreover, there can now be produced all tbe chnrae tcristlcs of the human eye which bad been possible In enamel work. Tho new prosthetic eye received tbe name "reform eye." To be of value, how ever. It must be made to exactly fit tbe eye socket. Today It la possible to give to the re form eye any form and color desired, and In most cases It can be even worn nt night, thereby preventing the lid from sinking Into the socket and tbe bines from sticking together. At time, attempts have been made to re-I place tbe breakable glass by vulcanite or celluloid, but such efforts have long alnce been given up ns useless. In IM'J the method used in France for making eyes was ns follows: On the broadly pressed end of u small, colorless, transparent rod of enamel tbe pupil was flrst made, and the Iris was then formed on this by me-dns of a small, thin pointed, colored enameled rod. the designing of tbe Iris being made posslbto by melting tbe point of this rod. In Paris the good eyes are now so rnude. A glas tube, closed at one end nnd of the color of tbe sclerotic. Is next blown into the form of un oval, und In the middle of this a hole U melted, the edgiti of which ore round ed off evenly and pressed n little out ward. The iris Is then placed In tbU opening ami wen meiteu in. a tnick . . .... ..... I coming of glass remains behind. The eye Is rounded off. the projecting rim of the white com Is smoothed with a metal rod. and this cont is thereby Joined to the sclerotic. Uy means of a thin, pointed red rod the blom! viiwels to be seen on the bard imt of tbe fitiman e.e are then melted in The superfluous twik rirt of the eyelmll Is inciteil off. thereby giving to the eye be dnslreil form. The eye Is Anally piaci-d on hot wind, where It bwomes gradually cooled olT. .
